“The
middle passage represents a time when there’s a kind of collsion
that occurs inside of us, bewteen the sense of self we’ve acquired
and the natural self with which we were born.” — James Hollis |

“…our culture has lost the mythic road map which helps locate a person in a larger context. Without a tribal vision of the gods, and their spiritual network, modern individuals are cut adrift to wander without guidance, without models and without assistance through the various life stages. Thus, the Middle Passage, which calls for death before rebirth, is often experienced in frightening and isolating ways, for there are no rites of passage and little help from one’s peers who are equally adrift.” (James Hollis: The Middle Passage p.23) |

We
are all familiar with the media's portrayal of a mid-life crisis. The
individual in the midst of such a life changing process can look desperate,
foolish, depressed and most certainly capable of doing things that are
out of character. Unfortunately these characterizations don1t do justice
to the psychological power that lies behind the issues at mid-life. Hollis, in his book, The Middle Passage, does a superb job of describing the struggles we face as we enter our "second adulthood." This second adulthood is a chance to live out our true selves, less encumbered by the "shoulds, musts and expectations" of our families and of our culture. The process of reassessing our lives at mid-life means old choices are questioned. Some seem right for this, our second adulthood, but others may appear to be stifling and no longer enhancing to our well being. When to stay the course and when to make mid-course corrections is what the "crisis" is all about. Hollis does a fine job of describing our dilemmas at mid-life as well as suggesting paths to find our way. http://www.silversidecounseling.com/pages/books.html |
